GIS and Mapping Services

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze and display all kinds of spatial or geographical data in order gain deeper insights into it, such as relationships, patterns, and trends - thus helping users make smarter decisions. The Planning Department’s GIS service supports the community by providing geographic data, mapping products, and other online services.

 

The Planning department's GIS also assigns addresses within the City of Waxahachie Limits. It is important to use addresses assigned by City of Waxahachie; any other addresses used would be considered unofficial and could result in delayed emergency response time, mail delivery etc.

If your property is outside the City of Waxahachie Limits, Ellis County will issue addresses. For further information, you may contact Ellis County at 972-825-5200 or gis@co.ellis.tx.us.

In order to request new addresses, suite numbers, and/or verification of the existing address, please submit the below address request form and allow 5 business days for city staff to complete the request. If the address request is associated with a plat or replat application, the address(es) will be assigned after the plat or replat is filed; there is no need to submit a separate address request in this case.
